In-game description

Black hood for blending in with the darkness.

Worn by church confessors.

The churches outside the Lands Between, dedicated to the teachings of the Two Fingers, send confessors out to follow the guidance of grace.

The confessors are loyal servants to the Two Fingers, ready to hunt down and quietly dispose of their enemies.

Where to find

Mt. Gelmir merchant

Mt. Gelmir

Starting Site of Grace: First Mt. Gelmir Campsite

Before you go

  • Have 1,000 runes.
  1. Reach Altus Plateau using both Dectus Medallion halves at the Grand Lift of Dectus, or climb the Ruin-Strewn Precipice and defeat Magma Wyrm Makar.
  2. Travel around northern Altus and cross the rope bridge near Writheblood Ruins to Bridge of Iniquity. Follow the lower road with the cliff on your left.
  3. Near the Abductor Virgins, find the long ladder between two torches on that left cliff. Climb it and activate First Mt. Gelmir Campsite on the upper ledge.
  4. Continue northwest past the siege tower and cross the narrow natural rock bridge. A Grafted Scion drops into the next camp; defeat it or move past it to climb the ladder against the cliff.
  5. At the next landing, take the ladder on the left. The merchant is on the ledge along this climb. Stop at his campfire before continuing higher toward Ninth Mt. Gelmir Campsite.
  6. Open Purchase and buy Confessor Hood for 1,000 runes.

Notes

  • Weighs 3.3 and provides 5 poise. Include the weight of your weapons and talismans when checking your equip load.
  • Can be tailored into Confessor Hood (Altered). That version weighs 2.7 and provides 3 poise.
  • Costs 1,000 runes from the merchant described below. The shop has one copy of this piece, so resting does not refill it after purchase.
  • The altered version saves 0.6 weight at the cost of 2 poise, with lower protection and resistance values. Tailoring changes the piece you own and can be reversed; it does not create a second copy.
  • Has no passive attribute or attack bonus and cannot be reinforced with Smithing Stones. Mixing it with other armor does not remove a matching-set bonus.
